Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

Well, recently I played SB (EC mode).
It took me 5 or 6 Kh-38MTs to kill single standing tank.

I do not know about other modes, but in SB EC it is nearly impossible to play USSR assault planes.

Because the F-15E is much better fighter in Air RB.

Because fat

Do tell me how 6 KH-38MTs managed to miss a stationary target… It’s definitely not like there are mountains of evidence showing they are more than capable of hitting 6/6 against moving targets

There were no misses. Always hit…but just hit :)
5 or 6 times in a row.

Tunisa map, flat. Launch at around 1000m above the ground. Distance - 13-16km. Tank did not move (battlefield zone).

And I’m sure you think it would have been a different result of you had fired AGM-65s… Right…

In opposite team there were 2 players. One did 50+ kills of ground units, the second one did 20+.
I do not recall which weapon was used.
I have heard about problems with mavericks too. But I do not recall the same problem with them I faced.
Also, opposite team in SB EC always outnumbers you at least twice.
Makes you to conclude about the efficacy of different nations in this game.

How many times do we need to say it’s the US equipment and that it doesn’t matter whose coat of paint is on it?

Because the Su-34 is a fat cow of a plane with horrible energy retention and no HMD, while the F-15E is the best plane in the game by such a large margin that it arguably should be 14.3

This is satire, right?

An argument can be made for 14. The plane is head and shoulders above everything else.

Okay so we’re just joking, that’s cool. Let’s get back the correct topic.

Sorry I was generalising I know we want all of our vehicles to perform as close to the real world as possible.

The Su-34 slaps in ground RB…Well it slaps me ha ha

In the game, does the V004 update TWS tracks independently from its search beam or does it behave like a mechanically steered radar? I don’t have the Su-24 so I can’t test fly the Su-34.


IDK, but Smin promised this feature.

Went through a couple vids on YouTube of this thing, at it seems that it does work. Can’t tell for certain, as the scan time is fast anyway (hard to tell if it is updated continuously or not) and there is no indicator of the beam doing quick scans of TWS targets (like on the S1 and Tor).
Does not seem to update targets that are outside of the scan zone, however.

As a side note, does anybody know how roll stabilization of the scan zone works for ESA radars? I am assuming the reason a lot of mechanically steered radars have roll stability limits is because of polarization. Is that true? How do ESA radars deal with that? From what I have seen, a lot of them tend to have their arrays fixed to the airframe.

I don’t see a source to back that statement other than just gaijin’s beliefs

Statement about what?
